Design a Moleskine GTD System?
mshea | May 11 2007
I was really fascinated by the Moleskine City notebook and everything they were able to pack into something that is just a bit bigger than a normal Moleskine. It got me thinking.... How would you design a single Moleskine that let one implement the entire GTD system? In order to do this it would need the following: 1. A set of plain pages for an "inbox". 2. A full year weekly calendar big enough for appointments and date reminders. 3. A contacts list for phone numbers and contact information. 4. A place for project lists, waiting for lists, and someday maybes. 5. A place for next action lists and Agendas. Some of these are really best as loose leaf items, like the next action lists and agendas. Currently I use notecards for this. How could loose leaf material best work in a Moleskine? I have this vision of tiny little rings but thats probably impractical. How can a single notebook have multiple pullout parts? I have another vision of three or four Cahier style notebooks all bound together in a normal Moleskine cover. So what thoughts do you folks have for a single GTD Moleskine device similar to the city notebook that would remain practical? 2 Comments
